Meghan Markle Talks About The Stereotypes Of Asian Women In Hollywood
Markle’s Spotify podcast, Archetypes, has been doing really well. She took a hiatus after the death of Queen Elizabeth II last month. Now, the Duchess of Sussex is back.
She discussed the stereotypical depiction of Asian women in Hollywood films and shows, especially in films such as ‘Austin Powers‘ and ‘Kill Bill.’ “The Dragon Lady, the east Asian temptress whose mysterious foreign allure is scripted as both tantalising and deadly; this has seeped into a lot of our entertainment,” Meghan said.
She continued, “But this toxic stereotyping of women of Asian descent, it doesn’t just end once the credits roll.” Journalist Lisa Ling, who was a guest on her show, said she was named hot reporter in Rolling Stone’s Hot List.
“Someone at my place of work cut out that article, drew slanted eyes over the eyes and wrote ‘Yeah, right’ and then put it back in my mailbox,” she recalled.
